Flowers have a strong, fruity fragrance. Blooms are large and have a high-centered, very double bloom form. Flowers are borne mostly solitary or in small clusters of 3 to 4 flowers, with dark green leaves. The plant's long, sturdy stems make it a popular cutting rose. The plant is vigorous, very disease resistant and blooms in flushes from spring through autumn. It thrives in USDA zone 7b through 9b.{{sfn|Quest-Ritson|Quest-Ritson|2011|p=398}}
